What does Kobe Gardens smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn far behind. It sits closest to leisure, daily wear, sport and the office, and is rarely chosen for nights out or evenings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards masculine, though it also draws feminine votes.

It opens fresh and fruity with apple, mint, grapefruit and bergamot. Towards the heart, marine notes, cucumber and melon come forward, turning the scent aquatic and green. Musk and oakmoss soften that coolness at the base, while sweet and lightly spicy touches stay in the background. Jul et Mad Aqua Sextius and Thameen Green Pearl have a close profile.
